Each recording documents a band\nconstantly evolving, dealing in turn with the collapse of their leader Syd Barrett, their unsuccessful\nattempts to recapture the pop charts, and their eventual self-reinvention as providers of multimedia extravaganzas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the crucible offered by BBC programmes like Top Gear, Pink Floyd forged a musical approach that\nwould serve them for years to come. As high-profile advertisements for a young and hungry group,\nthe role of these appearances in furthering the band’s career cannot be overestimated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collaboration of an English researcher and an American composer, Pink Floyd – BBC Radio 1967-1971\ncombines the authors’ extensive research into the details of each session with a thoughtful analysis of its contents.\nEvery chapter contains new additions to the historical record and sheds fresh light upon the band’s creative process,\nwhich combined rigorous structure with spontaneous expression – and astonishing bursts of inspiration with\nunabashed recycling of existing work. Inside are first hand recollections from audience members and BBC engineers,\nand coverage of unpublished recordings, including one session that only survives in a private collection and\nis here described in detail for the first time. The authors delineate the best sources for all the recordings\ndiscussed, and provide up-to-date information on Pink Floyd’s other radio broadcasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text additionally speaks to the unsung heroes: home tapers and engineers who preserved Pink Floyd’s\nlegacy when the BBC did not; DJs like John Peel who advocated ceaselessly for their music and offered\nthem a platform from their earliest days; and even the band’s own members and collaborators, whose\ncontributions are often under recognised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink Floyd – BBC Radio 1967-1971 covers its subject in unprecedented depth, while telling a story of triumph and loss,\ninterspersed with wit and pathos.
